Y = 4 - x
3x + 4(4-x) = 14
3x + 16 -4x = 14
-x = -2
x = 2
y = 2
<span>With the variable "y" being used to represent the total cost of going to the park for a year, the first equation would read "y = 50" since it is a one-time, flat cost. The second equation would be "y = 4x", with "x" being used to represent the number of times the person visited the park during the year multiplied by the $4 cost per visit.</span>
